Real steel AK pistol grip on WE-Tech AKS-74U

Hi,

 

I’m looking to upgrade my WE-Tech AKS-74U gbbr stock pistol grip to a Bakelite/fakelite grip. I understand that it will not be a straight drop in, as the WE-Tech grip uses small tabs to stay in place and real steel pistol grips do not.

 

I was wondering if anyone has any experience modifying real steel AK grips to fit WE-Tech, and what it entails. I also understand that some older Bakelite grips may contain asbestos, and I would therefore like to do as little modification/filing/sanding as possible. 
 

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. 
 

Many theanks!

For a start, Bakelite for AK's is not actually bakelite, its AG-S4 which is a formaldehyde based resin and doesn't have asbestos in it - you still want to be wearing a respirator whilst doing anything with it though.

 

Secondly, the ultimate resource for anything WE AK is on the HRC discord in the WE AK channel here: https://discord.com/channels/531031882880647170/533655031048568832
